Gushimisha · 4 verses
Nimuze, ngabo za Yesu,
Tujye mu ntambara!
Mwarobanuwe n’Umwami:
Mwese, mwiyereke !
Umugab’ araje:
Impanda bazivugije:
Nimuze, mwitabe!
(Come forth, soldiers of Jesus,)
(Let us go to battle!)
(Called by the Lord Himself:)
(Everyone, arise!)
(The enemy approaches:)
(They beat the war drums:)
(Come, join the fight!)
Dor’ umugab’ uzigabye
Ni Yesu Krisito
Yanesheje wa mwanzi we
kubg’ umusaraba
Ndetse,
n’ intwaro ze
Yarazimwambuye
Twashobora kuneshwa se,
Yes’ aturwanira ?
(Behold, the enemy we fight)
(Is Jesus Christ)
(Who defeated His adversary)
(Upon the cross)
(Moreover,)
(His weapons too)
(He stripped away)
(Can we be defeated then,)
(When Jesus fights for us?)
Mwiyumanganye mu byago
Mugiye kubona
Murind’ imitima yanyu,
Itagwa mu gico
Intwari y’ Umwami
Ntiyita ku by’isi
Ni kw ijy’ imera ngw ibone
Kunesha Satani
(Stand firm amid dangers)
(You are about to see)
(Guard well your hearts,)
(Lest they fall to temptation)
(The Lord's brave warrior)
(Cares not for earthly things)
(But for the age to come, to witness)
(Satan's defeat)
Mutwar’ intwaro z’ Umwuka,
Ni zo zimukwiriye
Inkot’ ityay’ iboneye
N’ ijambo ry’ Imana
Muryemere mwese;
Ni ryo ribakiza
Muryizere mu mitima,
Ni ho muzatsinda
(Take up the Spirit's weapons,)
(These are what you need)
(The fearsome mighty club)
(And the Word of God)
(Believe it, all of you;)
(It is your salvation)
(Trust it in your hearts,)
(There you will conquer)
